Objects in my barbers shop

This is my barbers shop up to now. The objects that contain in the shop are a mirror, table, wall and a shaving cream bottle. This process is taking longer than I expected.  I have screen shot of the process of the making of the objects.There are two more objects that I have to create which are a barbers chair and  a radio. The hardest object too make will be the barbers. I have said this because it will be a longer process than the other objects. It will be a longer process  because the barbers chair contains more shapes than the other objects.

For my first time on Cinema 4D I had to make a robot

Flooring

Cinema 4D : BARBERS SHOP

BLACK AND WHITE TILED FLOORING

STEP 1

I made a plan flooring to go with my barbers shop. I will talk you through the process of making the flooring. Firstly I decide to choose a typical  barbers flooring which was black and white tiles. Secondly after choosing the materials I had to set out how many titles there are going to be contained in the barbers shop. I decide to choose 10 along on Y and 10 along on X which works is 400cm by 400cm making each tile 40cm by 40cm. Here is a screen shot of the tiles.

STEP 2

This is on the right side of Cinema 4D. It contains various tools and functions to create the graphics. On this side we have the skin of the flooring which is black and white tiles.This is what I had to do to change the skin colour of the flooring. The flooring is a typical barbers floor. I have chosen this flooring because it will suit my walk through barbers shop and it gives out a vintage element to the shop floor.

STEP 3

Here is the final piece of my flooring. To view this image I needed to render the image for the flooring.
This is the main base of the barbers shop. Now I  have my dimensions, I can start to work on the The next step, I shall be adding the walls around the flooring.

 

EVALUATION

During the process of creating my flooring, I found it difficult at first because I was still learning new skills in Cinema 4D, but after by take each step at a time I began to remember the key functions and technical terms on the program, I started to get a better visual understanding on how to function and create my visual.

Sketches of barbers shops ideas

Firstly, I decided to eliminate certain object that were not achievable to create and decided to focus on the radio, clippers, a chair and the barbers pole.

Barbers pole
When I started sketching the barbers pole, I did some secondary research through the internet on what a barbers pole looks like. I research the designs, colour and shape. I made a note that I will need to make three cylinders. This sketch just gives a rough idea on what a barbers pole looks like.

Clippers
When sketching the clippers it made me that think that I will need to use the cube when using Cinema 4D. Again, I got some secondary research on different styles of barbers hair clippers. I have learned that the body of the clippers is a cuboid shape and a prism shape at the top where the teeth of the clippers are situated.

Barbers Chair
 The sketch of the barbers chair gives you an idea of a typical vintage chair. This will give me a clearer ideas on the 3D shapes I will need to use. I did some secondary research to get an idea on what a barbers chair looks like.

Radio
I did some research on different types of portable stereos such as radios and tape players. From my findings, I came across stereos that are known as ghetto blasters or Boom boxes. I chose this type of style as I believe it would fit in with the style of my walk-through architectural barbers shop.  I did a sketch of the boom box to get an ideas on the shapes and dimensions. I have learned that I will need to use cuboids and circles.

Here is a more detailed sketch of the barbers chair. The design is slightly different to the design at the top. b

Drawing of my ideas

In this blog I will be displaying a number of sketches of various objects that I plan on  creating for my 3D architectural walkthrough. The start off this project, I will be creative a mind map which help me come up with visual ideas on different styles of barber shops.

For each object I will be describing how I am going to produce it. To create my objects I will be using a range of different 3D shapes. These shapes will include, cubes, cuboids, cylinders, spheres and many others.

Name of he barbers shop

I have come up with the name, “Luigi’s” for my barber shop. I will be showing my 3D modelling to a range of different ages to get a wide variation of comments from different backgrounds. 

Barbers Pole

Today I have started to make the objects for my 3D architectural walkthrough. I have started off with the barbers pole. Firstly I had to create a skin colour. I used the software photoshop to create a row of white and red stripes to create the effect of the barbers pole. Here is a screen shot below of the stripes of white and red.

Next I went on the software Cinema 4d to create the barbers pole. Firstly I went on google and searched for designs of barbers pole, I did this because I wanted to get a visual image of how a barbers pole looks. This will help me with the process of making the barbers pole. From looking at barbers poles I could tell which shapes to use to create my own . For example the main shape to create the barbers pole was a cylinder . I used a cylinder as the main object. 

Next I used a photo from google so I could copy the image but with my own design. Though out the creation of the barbers pole I will have to use three Cylinder to make the barbers pole. The first one is the pole which is the main object, second one is the bottom of the barbers pole and the thread and final one is at the top of the pole. 

Next I wanted the white and red stripes to go on to my barbers pole. To do this I had to go to file and then to load the white and red stripe materials. The next step will be choosing the materials from my desktop, after sectioning the materials I transferred the material over to the main cylinder. After transferring the materials over to the cylinder the red and white stripes will appear on the cylinder. Here is a screen shot of the cylinder with the material.

After transferring the material over to the cylinder I then added a light to the barbers pole. I did this because I wanted the barbers pole to look more realistic and when adding the light it will show a glossy and new look to the barbers pole. Here is a photo of the light shinning on to the barbers pole. 

Here is the finished piece of my barbers pole. 

Here is the barbers pole when rendered. As you can see, the barbers pole has a shadow in the background. From adding a shadow the barbers pole looks more realistic.
